Things like meat have a sell by date, things like coke and chocolate have a best before date.

If anything the best before date saves people money... They sell them for discount price once they past it in some corner shops..

I can't imagine many people throw out something thats past its best before date, realise they don't have it anymore and then replace it.. Thats just dumb..

depends on the type of food and the person, you can bet millions throw stuff out too soon just to be over cautious
